Lord WELLINGTON has issued some . General Orders, which we have given at length, and which we trust will produce the .desired effe6t, not only in Portugal but in this Country. The Or ders were issued in ennsequence of the publication of some Letters, said to be written by an 0 Ulcer of rank in the British Army, and which created consi derable alarm at Oporto. The apprehensions which were excited in Portu gal by the approach of the 'immense French army under MASSENA, ' seem to have Completely subsided; and the accounts. -from almost every part of that kingdom represeit the inhabitant& as being firmly resolved to emulate the conduct of their gallant i"ighbours, and to resist to the last their unprin cipled invaders. From some recent movements which Lord WELLlNozoirshas - made, au opinion seems to prevail, that he attempt to raise the siege of Almeida.. If such a„rneasure be praaicable and prudent, we are sure that hit Lordship will attempt tr ; but, on the . s 7 ,:tber. htnd, we are convinced thit' be will not, byikashty seeking a battle, with an enemy so gready .- . superior in point • of number, ri,que the safety'',Of 'lila Own* army, and tlie rate of • Portugal. It is curious tts obsetve the extraordinary-Change which has taken : 444;e in the language of some. of our politicians, reipeuting the.'atfairs of Portugal. At the commeneement of this campaign, Ministers . ; . were loudly arraltledior attempting to :defend:Por togal with a faree - ,:so'utterly inadequate to the pur pose. The French', force 'was rep-reser - red as being io overwhdrning; . that al : resistance on our part NA. (dd be little short Of-madness. Lord WELLING vk as adviNed over and over again, not to hazard a meeting with the enemy, and throw away the iities of his soldiers wiq - iout a hope of advantage;' and Government were warned, under the most heavy responsibility, to have ships in readiness to convey away the British army, when the French should hare driven it to the shores of the Atlantic : but now the ground of accusation is totally changed, and the British general is censured for not having attached an enemy so much superior, in their own 'positions—an elierny against whom he was cau tioned, two months ago, by the very same persons, not to venture to contend. j , SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE PAPERS. OPORTO, AuG: . general we see•things in a very favourab►e point of 'view here, and are . fully persuaded the winter will pass by without a general action taking place, and by that time the combined 4rmies.will be so very strong, and so perfeElly ac quainted with each other, that they will be fully competent to resist any attack or force that the French may make or bring against them, and our information is considered as good. The enemy are carrying on their works but slow ly before Almeida. Our hussars are four leagues in advance of lerico, and the tat and 16th Portu guese regiments, under the command of Brigadier- General PAcK, occupy a small village called TeqOa ; theft, are two very fine regiments, and the tst is Commanded by Lieut.-Colonel 1411...1., and the 10th by Lieut.-olonel DoYLE. Four l-Amdred foot and 240 cavalry entered St. Joas do Pescado about a week ago, took away some corn,, and then . retired. Desertions still continue, but the peasantry have lately murdered several of them. Lord WELLINGTON has issued a very strict order for the peasantry to treat them wiih every kindness, but any of the pea,ants who ad 'contrary are to be punished. Liss ONi AUG. 26.—Many people here seem much inclined . to view affairs in a la•ourdble light, on comparing our strength and resn urces with that of the enemy, and seem to think that there are means sufficient to defend this country for yeats against the forces at present on this side of the Pyrenees. The 79th and 88th regiments have just landed here from Cadiz, and a syriadron of the 13th Light Dragoons have returned, which went away in spring. The enemy began to bombard Almeida at two o'clock in the morning, on the 16W, with 60 pieces of heavy ordnance. The rear of our army is rather advancing, or clos ing up. PROCLAMATION BY LORD WELLINGTON. LORD VISCOUNT WELLINGTON, MARSLIAL-GENERAL, &C. &C. "The time which has elapsed during which the enemy has remained on the frontiers of Portugal, must have proved to- the Portuguese n4ion what they have to expea from the French. The inhabi+ tants of some villages have remained in them, con fiding in the promises of the enemy, and hoping that, by becoming the enemies of their country, They might conciliate and mollify them, and inspire them with humane sentiments; that their property would be respelled, their females preserved from brutal violation, and their lives secured., " Vain hope! the inhabitants of those submissive places have suffered all the evils which a cruel enemy could inflict ; their property has been plun dered, their. habitations burned, their women atro ciously violated, and those whose age and sex did not provoke the brutal violence of the soldiers, hate fallen vietims to the imprudent confidence which theyylaced in promises made only to be broken. " The Portuguese must now see that no other means remain to avoid the evils with which they are threatened, but a tletrmined and vigorous re-'. sistance, and a firm resolution to obstruct as much as possible the advance of the enemy into the interior of the kingdom, by removing out of his reach all such things as may contribute to his subsistence or facilitate his progress. • This is the only and most certain means to prevent the evils with which the country is 'threatened. • "; The army under my command will protea as large-a portion of the country,as is possible ; but it is obvioils thatthe people alone can deliver themselves by a vig9rol,is resistance, and preserve their goods -by rernooinglhem, out of the reach of the enemy. ‘‘, The duties that bind me to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Portugal ; and to the• Porta guese nation, oblige me to make use of the power and authority with which I am furnished, and com pel the careless and indolent to make the necessary ef forts to preserve themselves from the dangers which. threaten. them, and to save their country. " In conformity with this I make knoWn and declare, that all magistrates and persons in authh, rity, who shall . remain in the villages or towns, after having .received orders froM the military . officers to remove from them,—and all persons, of whateVer:. class they may be, who shall maintain the least communication with, or aid and assist in any mart ner, the enemy, shall be.considered as traitors to the State; and tried and, punished as such an enormous crime requires. " WELLINGTON." 4, Head-quarters, Aug. 4, z Sto: LISBON, AUG. 25.—The accounts from Catalonia are highly satisfadory.

" The Commander' in Chief makes publicly known to the army the following extra& from a letter from Vice-Admiral BERKELEY, and from two other letters.enclo§ed therein : ' 3. " I cannot but conceive it is my duty to send you the copy of a letter from the Vice-Consul in Oporto, to,the commander of his Majesty's cutter Dart, inclosing extracts from two letters. I shall not make any comment whatever on their con- tents, but only observe, that they have thrown the said city into such a state of fear and consternation, 'hit I was officially required to send thither some shipi for the removal of the inhabitants. Colonel TRANT will be able to ascertain who was the writer of the said letters, through the merchant rimed in that of the Vice-Consul's. • 4. Copy Of a Letter of.

" After having paid my respeas to you. this morning, I must .now beg leave to transmit to you The inclosed extrad from an English Officer of rank to Mr. J. Ti ND AL E, a respectable merchant of this . place, whereby You will perceiVe the critical situa tion in which we find ourselves ) and I therefore re. quest, in my own name, as well as in that of all the English merchants of this place, that you will ' take into consideration. the necessity of leaving a sufficient off this bar (if it be consistent with the general tenor of your orders) to protea all the English ships which can be got .ready for setting sail, as well' as all the. English subjeas who, on account of the imminent danger, may be under the necessity of embarking without the least delay. I yesterday received a letter from the Commissary-Genera in Lisbon, .of the 28th of last month, wherein he informs me that the gun-brig Growler had set sail from thence, for this city, bu t she has not yet made her appearance.

The Guards, and the :division which was commanded by General CAME . - RON, composed of the.44d, 24th;and 61st regiments, had arrived at Jampajo and Gouvea. Lord WEL LINGTON'S head-quarters will be this evening in Celerico ; but it is said that General COTTON still ie , mains in Guarda. I have seen some Officers of the Staff, who told me that the force commanded by MASSISNAy including REONIER'S division, amounts in the whole to 105,000 men, 40 regiments whereof are cavalry;. 86,000 men are marching against our rear.

" The Commander in Chief will not mak; any inquiry t.,.) ascertain the . . authors': of letters which excited 'so much fear and consternation ill a place, - where it is most to be wished 110 6 . should exist. He has frequently lamented tho ignorance displayed in opiniOns announced in letters from' the army, and, the indiscreLion witt y which the letters are published. It. is impossible that many Officers of the army can possess a cient knowledge of latis to be able to form a correct, opinion on the probable events of the campaign, and yet their opinions, although. erroneous, when ono published, cannot, but produce mischievous results. " The Commander in Chief therefore retina" that the Officers, for their own reputation, will refrain from giving an opinion on matters with gard to which they cannot possibly possess the ne" cesssary knol.vle.!ge for giving it with correctness , and if they chance to communicate to their cone' spondents facts which relate to the . position of th` 3 army, its strength, the formation of its magaziao , preparations for cutting down or blowing UP. bridges, &c. they will at _lc.a,t .desire thei r correspondents not to publish their letters in News papers, unle,s it be certain that the publicatioa thereof cannot prove injurious to the artny and the public service.
